Abstract: Abstract Is it true that policemen and prime ministers are getting younger? Would you be troubled or delighted to find your accountant, dentist or lawyer was 29 years old? Or would you prefer them to be 49 or 59 … or would you not really care? How about an 82-year-old baby boomer who refused to give up work — happy with them as your eye surgeon or tax accountant? Feel uncomfortable if your 747 flight desk crew were pushing 70? Quite different from a 76-year-old barrister? Or headmaster?
